WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR ANY U.S. PRESIDENTAL CANDIDATE, DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH? My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any m ore money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now time to begin the reckoning. Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United K ingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains every one not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war. THEN EVERY YEAR THERE AFTER IT'll GO TO OUR SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM SO IT WONT GO BROKE IN 20 YEARS.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hellholes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France or maybe China.

I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to beg in towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York!

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. Its president and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra thousandtanks and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put 'em? Yep, border security.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway. Immediately, we'll be drilling for oil in Alaska - which will take care of this country's oil needs for decades to come. If you're an environmentalist who opposes this decision, I refer you to List 2 above: pick a country and move there.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin."

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thank you guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought: You might want to learn to speak Arabic.

When I look at the choices we have this time I have to say-- Oh My God is this the Best our country has to offer as leaders.

Do we really want to have an Obama -- Nation? I mean really now I'm sure we have some qualified Black business leaders who dont have a history of being Muslim and who have American heritage dating back to pre civil war life in this country rather than a first generation citizen who has no heritage in the struggles of our country. Option "C" woman who sold our country down the river on the board of Wal Mart by making deals for China produced goods that destroyed our Manufacturing Sector. My Union leaders didnt know what to say when they called to invite me to a luncheon with Hillary and I explained how pre Bill Clinton we didn't have all these China produced goods and drew the conclusion that the Clintons were directly responsible for the loss of huge numbers of Union Jobs. For that matter I have to say it's a little difficult to get excited about Mc Cain - he might have been a viable cantidate first time GW ran but nobody thought he could be realistically elected then has GW lowered our expectations that much. Exactly what idiot is controlling this political process could we please have a block to check that says NONE OF THE ABOVE.

I am probably in the minority here, but I think Rnald Reagan would be disgusted at the first post here. As a side not, I absolutely disagree with Ron Paul's take on foreign policy. As a general rule, there is not a single historical example where isolationism ever did anything good for any country.

As a side note, manufacturing in this country is going down the drain because we can not compete well in it. We need to either get our act together, or learn to do other jobs.

koshkin: i don't think it's really so much about the U.S. want to become an isolationist as it is the U.S. being sick and tired of being an open check book. The world wants us to be waiting on them hand and foot, but when we need i little help i.e. the price of crude, then we become the redheaded bastard stepchild with bad breath. I live 7 miles from the U.S./mexican border and i'm sick of bending over backwards trying not to offend these people. Now before anyone calls me a racist let me say that I am hispanic, however I would not died for Mexico I'd gladly give my life to defend the U.S. I just think it's time to take care of home first, and if other countries don't like it then......you can figure out the rest. Koshkin I'm not doggin you and i hope i didn't offend you,that was not my intention. just my two cents worth. btw did mention that I'm running for president?

I am all for fixing things at home and securing the border with Mexico. However, with the war against islamofascists, we can not surrender go home and assume that we will be left alone. The world just does not work that way.

One of the reasons we can't compete against other countries is because we play by rules they ignore. Who do you think dumps more toxic crap into the air and water, Leupold or some manufacturing plant in a Chinese industrial district? Who does a better job of protecting it's workers from accident or exposure to chemicals? Who has to pay more taxes and tarriffs to export?

Isolationism may not work very well, but I am really beginning to wonder if it can be as bad as this is getting to be.

I agree with you Bro. We need to kick their rears right were they are, not in your nor my front yard. Although if they show up here I'll help make them martyrs.

"Don't argue with a fool! From a distance you can't really tell who's who!"

But ... we needed to kick the right rears in the correct country .... it WAS NOT DONE ! Plus I'm sick of American boys being killed and mutilated for countries who don't appreciate it .... and never have or never will . From WW 1 until now our so called allies have stuck a finger in OUR eye everytime we need them to back us up . Even the current administration now knows they blew it . Ronald Reagan was in my opinion the greatest president ever ... except George Washington . I'm so d*m sick of hearing how abe lincoln was better than Washington .... who risked it all ... actually FOUGHT in the war .... suffered horribly .... and helped create this wonderful country . Abe lincoln would'nt rate a pimple on Washington's *ss . They fought the wrong countries to take out the extremists .... we should have turned Sadaam loose on Iran with full backing and blew the h*ll out of afghanistan instead . Trillions of dollars .... 5,000 + dead american boys ..... 1,000's of mutilated and crippled boys .... an economy that's dead and sinking lower ... and no better off ...WORSE OFF ... than we were ... the world hates us .... that's what we get for letting clowns run the country and the war .

The economy is devistated .... dollar worth 14 cents on the world market ... need I go on ? It's all true .... illegals flooding our streets and bankrupting our medical system ..... ask the border guards .... drugs - dope - illegal firearms - mexican criminals doing crimes and sneaking back and forth over the border with protection from this white house locking up border guards who fought back and rewarding the scum bag drug dealer with cash payoff for injuries . My 2 dollars worth ... even though it's only worth 28 cents now . McCain's gonna need a train load of DRANO to clean the white house and this govt. up .

+1. Unions and minimum wage are KILLING the U.S. They are both socialist policies. However, after the pick of Palin for VP, I have HOPE for the first time in a long time. We have an opportunity. God has, seemingly, answered many of my prayers positively this year... this is one of them. This woman is not a savior, but she is a start in the right direction to bring American's thought processes in a direction toward saving themselves.

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living
